French Clothing


I always wonder how some brands manage to become so desirable that people suddenly all want to buy it! A lot depends on the money invested in advertising of course, but not only. Sometimes a little detail like a logo makes the difference... That's exactly what I thought when I saw this shirt at Old England at Boulevard des Capucines, near the Opera. I immediately thought of an American sportswear brand, but I found out that I was wrong. This logo belongs to Albert Arts, a brand that originates from... Nice, in the South of France. Sorry, I realize this post could have been written for a marketing blog, but the photo is nice too and... was taken in Paris!

  1. Is this "I'd rather be playing football than working in the office and wearing this damned tie today"?

  2. Oh: I heard that the term "madamoiselle" is under fire because Dominique Strauss-Kahn has people angry. What's the scoop on this from Paris?

  3. Jeff, you reminded me of a T-shirt I saw earlier this week.

    "After Monday and Tuesday...even the calendar says - W T F" - in English, beyond doubt.

    A good one, Eric!

    Cheers!

  6. LOL That is really fun. I wonder if any men are secretly wearing these under their jackets and dreaming of playing football (soccer) while at work. Cute!

  7. Really funny that you went to Old England yesterday and fell on this French brand! LOL Christie : I even hope they do ! I love picturing men (and women) with small secrets like that one! I'm sure some are really tempted to send the ball into the back of someone just to relax a bit... specially while they are at work of course...!

  8. What a clever logo—brilliant idea to play into what guys would really like to be doing while they're at work in their suit and tie. Bon weekend, Eric!

  10. Eric I love the logo. Though I am not sure I will ever be cool enough to wear this.
